How to SELECT & FIT a child's flotation device

Brighter colours are easier to see. Head support is especially critical for younger children. And remember, the designated weight range for each size of child's PFD is approximate.

It is most important to try the product on and ensure a snug fit.

1. Do the PFD up, securing the front zipper, belt and leg strap.

2. Pick your child up by the shoulders of the vest. If their chin and ears slip through, it is not a proper fit.
